One night right before summer vacation, Daichi Manatsu, a second-year in high school, sees a weird round rainbow floating in the sky above Seed Island (Shuushi/Tane Island) and ventures there alone. He has seen this rainbow before. With the memories of his father's mysterious death and an encounter of a mysterious boy and girl, Daiji arrives on the island while the alarm of a building labeled "Earth Engine" is going off. Someone asks him "Are you a captain?" just as robotic intruders from Uranus called "Kiltgang" arrive. The battle around the shining stars is about to begin.

Are you guys serious?! From the guys who made Star Driver?! I couldn't finish the series after the first episode because I hated the MC so much, and the mecha was lame compared to what's come before (and after) it.

I'll watch Captain Earth, but with fingers tightly crossed...

Don't blame the shittyness of Star Driver on the company that animated it. Blame that one the mangaka for making such a shit manga :P
I couldn't finish the anime either, it was so damn repetitive. And I just wanted to strangle the characters, so damn stupid.
